Foxboro P0700KQ Product Description

Product Overview

The Foxboro P0700KQ is a high-reliability termination cable assembly designed for the FBM17D I/O module within the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It provides a dedicated, factory-tested interconnect path for contact signals and 10 mA current loop signals, ensuring robust and noise-immune transmission between field devices and the control system. Built for industrial environments, the P0700KQ simplifies cabinet wiring, reduces installation errors, and supports continuous operation in process-critical applications.

Core Features

FBM17D-Specific Termination

Engineered exclusively for the Foxboro FBM17D I/O module, the P0700KQ supports contact input (dry contact) and 10 mA current loop signal types. Its pinout and wiring configuration match the FBM17D’s termination requirements exactly, enabling direct, adapter-free connection and eliminating signal mismatches.

Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction

The cable assembly uses stranded copper conductors with flame-retardant PVC insulation, offering excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, abrasion, and aging. Both ends are pre-terminated with precision-crimped contacts, ensuring low contact resistance, secure locking, and minimal on-site wiring. It complies with ISA S71.04 Class G3 for harsh industrial conditions, including high dust, humidity, and electromagnetic interference.

Superior Signal Integrity

Twisted-pair conductor layout minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving accuracy for low-level contact and current loop signals. Every P0700KQ undergoes 100% factory testing for continuity, insulation resistance, and dielectric strength, ensuring consistent performance in electrically noisy environments such as chemical plants, power stations, and oil and gas facilities.

Flexible and Space-Saving Installation

Available in standard lengths to suit typical cabinet-to-field runs, the P0700KQ supports both local panel mounting and remote I/O configurations. Its compact, flexible jacket allows easy routing in tight cabinet spaces and around obstacles. The assembly is hot-swappable when used with compatible I/A Series racks, enabling replacement without shutting down the process.
